The Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team are experts at putting on a good leadout and they delivered a win easily today by doing it again. The opening stage of the Volta ao Algarve was flat but very dangerous as the wind and crashes split the peloton quite a lot, Fabio Jakobsen took a dominant sprint win and is the first leader of the race.
The breakaway today was formed by João Matias (Tavfer-Mortágua-Ovos Matinados), Hugo Nunes (Rádio Popular - Paredes - Boavista), Fabio Oliveira (ABTF - Feirense) and Asier Etxeberria (Euskaltel - Euskadi). They've made for a maximum lead of three minutes as the peloton rode behind quickly due to the tension posed by the wind.
With 40 and 11 kilometers to go there were two mass crashes. These split the peloton into around half it's size. The breakaway was caught with 35 kilometers to go and the pace was consistently high, with some moves coming mainly stimulated by Nils Politt.
Quick-Step pushed the pace incredibly high in the final two kilometers as Remco Evenepoel hit the front in a slight uphill section, coming downhill into the sprint in the roundabouts the peloton cracked behind the Belgian team's leadout, they delivered Fabio Jakobsen to the line perfectly and the Dutchman easily took his third win of the season.
Jordi Meeus took second place in a complicated sprint as Kristoff had to stop pedalling, Bryan Coquard took third spot.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
